Mix together the milk, 1 tsp. sugar and the yeast. Sift together flour,
salt, baking powder. Add remaining sugar, yeast mixture, butter, yogurt,
and egg. Knead dough for ten minutes. brush with butter and let rise for 1
hour. Preheat your oven to the hottest temp.( Indian people bake this bread
in a Tandoor oven which get very hot600 degrees or more) and preheat your
heaviest tray with it. Punch down and knead again. Divide into 6 portions
and roll flat. As you roll out each naan, put it on the tray and bake in
oven for about three minutes or so. The first time I made these, my oven
broke so I made them on my gas grill with the chicken I was making and they
came out great! They had a nice , slightly smoky flavor.

This recipe came from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking . You could find it
in your local library it's a very good cookbook.
